Having been inspired by Napoleon to become the ruler of a nation, [[Grand Duke Travis|Travis McHenry]] always knew he would lead his new country as a royal figure. However, he also wished to present an accurate picture of himself as a representative of his country to the world at large. Therefore, the title "Consul-General" was selected to conjure images of a diplomat, but also as an homage to Napoleon's first political position "First Consul of France." | Having been inspired by Napoleon to become the ruler of a nation, [[Grand Duke Travis|Travis McHenry]] always knew he would lead his new country as a royal figure.

Initially, it was thought that the coronation ceremony would only occur after the first visit to the continent of [[Antarctica]], and then, it should only occur on the actual territory of Achaea. Those plans changed quickly after Travis arrived in Marmaris, Turkey for a port visit while he was stationed as an Intelligence Specialist on the U.S. Navy ship, USS ''Kearsarge''. | Initially, it was thought that the coronation ceremony would only occur after the first visit to the continent of [[Antarctica]], and then, it should only occur on the actual territory of Achaea.
